Network issues on start-up

[Nearan]

Hi all,

I've been having issues over the last few days with my internet connection taking a good 30ish seconds to establish after I start up my PC. It's a wired connection directly to my router/modem (Virgin Super Hub).

I have done google searches but most seem to just suggest disabling certain services, such as bonjour if it is running, from the services.msc - I can't find it running though, and I swear I remember turning that off a long time ago anyway. As far as I can tell I haven't altered or added anything recently that would affect my connection, with the only exception being a paid VPN from CyberGhost, however I've been using this for a few months now and had no problems until the last few days. I even disabled the VPN connection in the 'change adapter settings' area.
The only other thing is I recently installed Avast! as a quick free solution for an antivirus because I'm broke atm. That was a week or so ago though, and the problems have only just happened over the last few days.

The network connection is through an Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection on an Asus Sabertooth Z77 mobo.

Other than the simple google search I also tried the obvious turning off and on of the SuperHub router to no avail, as well as checking for driver updates. I've checked these forums for any similar posts but didn't find any.

Any help would be great, as booting up on an SSD then waiting 30 seconds to be able to use the internet is pis**ng me off to say the least   

If you need more information let me know.

I hope someone can help, thanks for reading!

Nearan.

When you start up your pc it usually takes 30 seconds for everything to start up

Windows goes through like a list of programs and devices to start up when the pc is turned on and usually the internet connection is somewhere at the end of that list as it isn't a priority for the pc to be stable. Also I have a wifi card and when I plug in a Ethernet cable it takes a few seconds to swap from wifi to the Ethernet connection so that may be the cause too.

I would say its nothing to be worried about really

I sort of agree with the above comment but at the same time dont. My computer loads in that whole "30 seconds" but my network connection isnt the last to start up, my TFTP server is. You can change your start up via msconfig and see if there is any startup software causing this issue. Have you updated your NIC to the latest driver, via the board website ?

Try use a static IP for your system as it could also be DHCP taking its sweat time authenticating. This happens to XP machines a lot. This might resolve some of the network connection authenticating with your router.

Also clear your network history via netsh dump and ipconfig /flushdns via CMD. I would suggest not too tweak registry to help or do what online help recommends to stop services to speed up internet unless you just disable "Large send off"

I agree with this.  Maybe try at bootup to type ipconfig via CMD and see if your pc has recieved DCHP IP address.  If it takes a bit to give results then its DHCP from your superhub that is slowing you up.

i also have the similar problem with my dad PC who is using the mobo lan

 

one simple method is to disable the power saving mode for the LAN port

 

ensure the "allow windows to turn off this device to save power option" is disabled

 

it will be under the device manager settings
